[Adium-devl] ByObject prefs suck

[Michael Dippery]

Just to butt in a second -- I, too, keep information such as aliases  
and notes for people who aren't on my buddy list. I'm probably in the  
minority (in terms of all users) in trying to keep my buddy list as  
small and condensed as possible, but although I like to specify an  
alias (and possibly a note) for anyone who contacts me, I might not  
necessarily want to have them show up on my buddy list.
